  1. Just realized that our games in hand are against Everton and Spurs. If we were to win those matches, as of the current table we would be in 4th place having played the same number of games as everyone else.
  2. Son and Kane are just so clinical in their finishing. Would love to get a player in their ilk at Villa. Would make us genuine challengers for the UCL places.
  3. Last two games at least - the opposition were attacking in waves.
  4. Changing out Barkley seems the most logical solution. Also bringing in Trez can play help solidify us defensively.
  5. Terrible take. Everyone was absolute giddy when we signed him on loan. He's been off since coming back from his injury and though it's abundantly clear he has special qualities he is a liability at the moment. If he had another name on the back of his shirt, the criticism would be 3 fold. Hopefully a proper week of build-up to the next match helps get him back on track, but if it were me I would consider starting Ramsey or Sanson over him.
  6. Wow. You are right. A couple of players reached 19 since, but no one has crossed twenty in the top flight league (Div1/Prem)
  7. There is a touch of quality with Barkley, but he is too much of a liability otherwise. Would definitely bring on Sanson early for him. Also think Nakamba with his yellow needs to come out.
  8. Sounds about right to me. We have no pressure to sell him - get every penny possible. No club has done us any favors.
  9. We need to hold Swansea ransom when they try to sign him permanently - like what Bournmouth did with Mings.
  10. One of the players we sign must be a dead-ball specialist.
  11. Good news and hopefully a sign of the club's overall development on the marketing and biz dev side of things which generally has been poor. Wish they had a season package option where we could pay in one go. Due to timing, I don't plan to watch any of the matches live, but would be happy to get a subscription.
  12. We are gassed. Think we will be average until the end of the season. Hoping for a top half finish.
  13. That was really poor. Midfield needs adjustment. El Ghazi has been very wasteful. Bring on Sanson/Ramsey and Traore early 2nd half.
  14. Golden chance for us to solidify our top-half position and push on for Europe if we can win the next few matches
  15. Better if Newcastle get a result. We want as wide a gap as possible with the teams behind us.
  16. No, UNC-Greensboro is a different university. UNC-Chapel Hill (normally referred to as just "UNC" or "North Carolina") is the more famous one and has a very strong men's and women's soccer programs. It is however better known for its basketball program where Michael Jordan played under their legendary coach......wait for it....Dean Smith!
  17. Would be happy with 9 points from the February fixtures.
  18. As a Villa supporter I'd be very happy with a top 10 finish. As a Grealish fan, I'm desperate for Europe.
  19. Kind of feel bad for Fulham as they are playing decent, they just can't turn their draws into victories.
  20. If we can go on a little run - similar to what West Ham just did before losing to Liverpool - we will be well positioned for one of the European places, possibly even the UCL spots as no one seems to want to grab those.
  21. Just can't get myself to pull for Leeds - no matter who they play.
  22. He does quite a few skits with footballers and clubs. Would be surprised if he is not a genuine fan.
  23. Imagine his numbers if he took free kicks and penalties. Probably another 4-5 assists and goals combined.
  24. Agree that is over the top. Presume most of those comments were in the match and reaction threads where emotions tend to be very raw.
  25. Sorry mate, but I find this type of comment exhausting as well - as I always see posts like this by some when criticism is levelled at a player or coach. By definition a forum will have opinions - not all will be positive and glowing. Smith and substitutions is an issue that has long been discussed here, on social media and podcasts. It's obviously a topic of debate. Except for a tiny minority who think only the likes of Antonio Conte should be coaching Aston Villa, feel the great majority are very supportive of Smith. That does not mean he is perfect and cannot improve.
